Re: [MiNT] Video modelines

While looking for monitors I noticed that fewer and fewer have vga and while some may
work with adapters it isn't made clear in the specs whether the dvi port is dvi-d, dvi-a or dvi-i.

It reminded me of my Milan tests with a Radeon card and I had an idea that the Radeon
may have failed because of the psu not powering up the cpu due to the different power needs
of the Radeon, I had this problem with the 060 upgrade.

It took me ages to find these discussions:
